Book excerpt: A primarily American institution (though it appeared in other countries such as Japan and Italy), the drive-in theater now sits on the verge of extinction. During its heyday, drive-ins could be found in communities both large and small. Some of the larger theaters held up to 3,000 cars and were often filled to capacity on weekends. The history of the drive-in from its beginnings in the 1930s through its heyday in the 1940s and 1950s to its gradual demise in modern-day America is thoroughly documented here: the patent battles, community concerns with morality (on-screen and off), technological advances (audio systems, screens, etc.), audiences, and the drive-in's place in the motion picture industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a cue from influential French philosopher Jacques Rancière, who in The Emancipated Spectator rejects the idea of the passive, ignorant, duped spectators in need of instruction to become active, Stuart A. Day’s goal in Outside Theater is to highlight written words and performances that exemplify effective strategies, past and present, to reveal and promote civic engagement, to provoke disruptions, or to highlight fissures—and opportunities—in oppressive social structures. Through the study of one or two primary models per chapter, as well as multiple examples in the introduction and conclusion, Day presents Mexican plays from 1905 to 2015, including the 2010 Mexico City performance of Zoot Suit by Chicano playwright Luis Valdez. Using these plays, Day explores the concept of “outside theater,” where people or groups translate the tools of the theatrical trade to a different stage, outside the walls of the theater, and play the part of fictional or real life Celestinas—matchmakers who unite seemingly disparate entities to promote social awareness and social action by working the borders between life and art. Each work in this innovative analysis reveals productive social connections that, with the help of crucial artistic alliances, contradict the perception that art is somehow secondary to or disconnected from the public sphere of influence and the struggles of everyday life. With this book, Day shows that Mexican theater can and does bolster civil society and thus the country’s fragile democracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together archeologists, art historians, philologists, literary scholars, political scientists, and historians to articulate the ways in which western Greek theater was distinct from that of the Greek mainland and, at the same time, to investigate how the two traditions interacted. The chapters intersect and build on each other in their pursuit of a number of shared questions and themes: the place of theater in the cultural life of Sicilian and South Italian 'colonial cities;' theater as a method of cultural self-identification; shared mythological themes in performance texts and theatrical vase-painting; and the reflection and analysis of Sicilian and South Italian theater in the work of Athenian philosophers and playwrights. Together, the essays explore central problems in the study of western Greek theater. By gathering a number of different perspectives and methods, this volume offers the first wide-ranging examination of this hitherto neglected history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Americans have been thrilled, scared, titillated, and shocked by exploitation movies, low budget films with many scenes of sex, violence, and other potentially lurid elements. The term derives from the fact that promoters of such films exploit the contents in advertising that plays up the sexual or violent aspects of the films. This is the first comprehensive study of the American exploitation film to be published. It discusses five distinct genres: the teen movie, the sexploitation film, the martial arts movie, the blaxploitation film and the lawbreaker picture. Contained within these genres are many popular American film types, including beach movies, biker pictures, and women's prison movies. The study provides a history and sociopolitical analysis of each genre, focusing on significant films in those genres. It also discusses the economics of exploitation films and their place in the motion picture industry, the development of drive-in theaters, the significance of the teenage audience, and the effect of the videocassette. Finally, the book applies major film and cultural theories to establish an aesthetic for evaluating the exploitation film and to explore the relationship between film and audience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This vintage book contains a detailed treatise on the subject of open-air auditoriums, exploring their design, construction, and use throughout history. An interesting and comprehensive look at the evolution of theater design, "Outdoor Theaters" is highly recommended for those with an interest in the stage, and would make for a wonderful addition to any collection. Contents include: "The Shakespearean Traditions", "Modern Drama", "The Rural Drama", "The Greek Drama", "Masques", "Informal Programs", "Formal Speaking", "Problems of Design", "Size", "Enclosure", "Orientation", "Locations", "Seats", "The Stage", "The Foyer", "The Proscenium", "Furnishings", etcetera. Frank Albert Waugh (1869 - 1943), was an American landscape architect whose career focused upon recreational uses of national forests, the production of a highly natural style of landscape design, and the implementation of ecological principles. Many antiquarian texts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disbelief greets the messengers from Marrias, a planet with an advanced civilization that is light years from Earth, when they try to warn the leaders of our planet that an ominous poisonous cloud is heading towards Earth. My fast-paced, suspense novel, tells the story of the Marriast efforts to convince the leaders of the diverse nations on Earth of the impending catastrophe, and to persuade them to take immediate action to protect humanity. Even our most advanced telescopes do not see the Cloud until it penetrates our solar system. The major characters in the novel must be persuaded to assist the aliens in their effort to contact the leaders of the nations and participate in a possible last minute rescue if the Cloud penetrates Earth''s ozone layer. Will our leaders procrastinate, forcing the Marriasts to take control of the Earth in order to save humanity from extinction? As the story evolves we see the contrast between our present world still filled with war and violence and the utopian planet of Marrias that has long ago overcome similar problems and is now 1,000 years ahead of us in technolgy, science, medicine and human values. The human characters in the novel become aware of their own shortcomings as they strive to demonstrate mankind''s potential for achieving a more peaceful and advanced civilization here on Earth.
